Table 3 Summary table of techniques with the new approach

From: Intelligent systems for sitting posture monitoring and anomaly detection: an overview

Techniques

Advantages

Limitations

Refs.

Supervised

High success rates

Interpretation of results

Limited number of anomalous samples:

Unbalanced data base

Health specialist presence required for data labeling

Inability to characterize all anomalies

[34, 93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102]

Semi-

Supervised

Normal samples available

Ability to detect unknown anomalies

Since the postural pattern may be composed of different normal states, the normal boundary is wide

Expert knowledge required in case of wanting to label different normal states

[19, 67, 103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114]

Unsupervised

No data labeling required

Detection of unknown anomalies

Applicable to large data sets

Increased tendency to false positives

Lack of interpretation

Normal data are grouped in clusters assumption

[92, 117,118,119, 122, 123, 125,126,127, 129,130,131,132,133,134,135,136,137]
